[cisco-voip] Auto Attendant

[Wes Sisk]

Yes, i was hoping to get off with just dummy users with extensions, but 
no go.  You could use ldif files to populate just the primary extension 
for dummy users in DCDirectory.  Not sure that would really be TAC 
supported though.  And, not sure about your LDIF adeptness, but I could 
have it done with BAT before I got the first LDIF written, let alone 
past the parser interface.
